Certainly not in the way that a Polaroid print or other one-off photo products would be. Mono prints generally indicate that the "plate" is destroyed in the making of the print. As long as the original "plate," negative, stone, block, etc. exists - the prints are rarely considered one of a kind. They may be considered slightly unique variations for one reason or another (different paper, different dodging and burning) but the same is true for ink jet prints. I make variations with the computer and ink jet printer all the time.
